While your essays are marked on the same 6-point scale EVERY piece of formal writing is marked on, sometimes one "sub-topic" or another is emphasized.
Usually a whole essay is marked on a multiple of the rubric value. It will be out of 12 or even 24.
For example, the lawyers' briefs and psychologists' reports are marked on the six-point scale, but I place a bit more emphasis on the "ideas" and "voice" marks because playing the role of the lawyer or psychologist is so important.
In a timed essay, usually I will emphasize "ideas" and "structure". I also take into account that it is first-draft writing; that is, you haven't had a chance to use the whole writing process, so I am less snarky about minor spelling mistakes and small grammar issues (anything that makes your reading hard to understand, though, still makes me feel stabbity).
